I have used quite a lot of different face masks and brands (some of my favorites include Vichy Mineral Masks, L’Oréal Paris Pure Clay Mask and Lush Rosy Cheeks) but honestly, I had rarely used sheet masks until the hype around them started! I just always thought they were much more expensive for their purpose and in comparison to other available options. After I tried out a few Korean ones, I started to understand why people were obsessing over them. Aaaand for the past few months, I’ve been stacking on some face masks that I wanted to share with you, so here they come! Some I bought myself, some were sent to us for PR purposes, others were gifts from friends that turned out to be real treasures!
Asian face masks rule!
I bought a couple of different sheet masks from Beijing that I really liked and thought were worth sharing! Firstly, I found Watsons Aloe Vera Hydrating Facial mask super refreshing, it definitely hydrated my skin deeply and left it silky soft and plumped. The other one from the same brand that I tried, Watsons Pomegranate Repairing & Hydrating Facial mask also worked in refreshing my tired face and skin. The Garden Snow Banana Talk Mask I found more suitable for the days when my skin produced more sebum and basically was much more oily and shiny. This one had a more mattifying effect and wasn’t as hydrating as the previous two. And one final product that I really fell in love with, is the Sleep mask by Oh K!, which comes in a 20ml packaging, suitable for more than 5-6 uses. In my case it was 10, I guess because I didn’t put too much. The mask seriously did wonders every morning after I used it, so I’m looking to test other products by the brand. Hit me up with some recommendations if you have tried any cool ones!
Nose patches
At least twice a month I also use a nose patch or a mask against blackheads that deeply cleanses the clogged pores on and around my nose. I bought the Bioré charcoal pore strips from Beijing and must say that I really like how they work – they do remove most of my blackheads and leave the area soft and even. I also tried the PACKage Melt me softly mask that is suitable for the whole face against blackheads and must say that I didn’t really see a significant effect, plus I felt a bit of a burning sensation around my nose, so I woundn’t really recommend it.
Eye patches
I watched a few YouTube tutorials about how to make your skin/face look radiant and naturally beautiful without any makeup and one of the key things was not just face masks but eye patches. My biggest problem when I decide not to wear make up is the huge dark circles and bags under my eyes. No matter what I do, they’re always there.. But I found a good enough solution for now, which is eye patches and cold treatments, which help to make me look more awake and less tired. There are two options that I can recommend, Purederm collagen eye zone mask is super affordable (I found it in the drugstore closeby) and contains 30 sheets that work more in terms of hydration, whereas Klorane’s smoothing and relaxing patches* are a more expensive version but have a very visible effect in hiding deep eye bags.
